The Golden Eagles will host six league programs that competed in the NCAA tournament in 2016-17, including Elite Eight participant Xavier in the conference lidlifter on Dec. 27. A national television audience on Jan. 28 versus Villanova opens a three-game homestand, which concludes versus Providence on Feb. 3 on National Marquette Day. Al’s Night comes Feb. 21 in the annual home matchup with St. John’s and Senior Day versus Creighton on March 3 will be the program’s final game in the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The BIG EAST Conference Championship is slated for March 7-10 at Madison Square Garden.
